Dachshunds, boasting long noses and an exceptional sense of smell, are a breed known for their strong food drive, traits they inherited from their hunting dog lineage. Their superior olfactory abilities, combined with their insatiable hunger, make them driven by food rewards.

These small but determined dogs can be incredibly focused and persistent when food is involved. Their amusing mentality and effectiveness make them perfect candidates for scent-related tasks, as well as irresistible snack beggars.
